Down In The Park
Lyrics
Down In The Park
(Single from 'Replicas' album, 1979)
Down in the park
Where the machmen
Meet the machines
And play 'Kill by numbers'
Down in the park
Wit a friend called 'Five'
I was in a car crash
Or was it the war
But I've never been
Quite the same
Little white lies
Like 'I was there'
Come to 'Zom Zoms'
A place to eat
Like it was built
In one day
You can watch the humans
Trying to run
Oh look
There's a rape machine
I'd go outside
If he'd look the other way
You wouldn't believe
The things they do
Down in the park
Where the chant is
'Death, death, death'
Until the sun cries morning
Down in the park
With friends of mine
We are not lovers
We are not romantics
'We are here to serve you'
A different face
But the words never change
Metal
('The Pleasure Principle' album, 1979)
We're in the building
Where they make us grow
And I'm frightened by
The liquid engineers
Like you.
My Mallory heart
Is sure to fail
I could crawl around the floor
Just like I'm real
Like you.
The sound of metal
I want to be
You
I could learn to be a man
Like you.
Plug me in
And turn me on
Oh everything is moving.
I need my treatment
It's tomorrow they send me
Singing 'I am an American'.
Do you?
Picture this
If I could make the change
I'd love to pull the wires from the wall
Did you?
And who are you
And how can I try
Here inside I like metal
Aren't you
All I know
Is no-one dies
I'm still confusing love with need.
Replicas
('Replicas' album, 1979)
It was hard to avoid
I suppose it was a shame
But they didn't even try
You see we'd never met
And they didn't have names
There was nothing I could do
So I turned on the crowd
And I screamed 'you and you'
'It could have been you'
And they seemed to think
That I looked that way
Or maybe I was wrong
So I said
Do you know Mr. Wall
And they looked the other way
And then they smiled at me
But the police came
And I said it was me
And I just walked away
